Various Notes. 



Daniel MacRorie, of the MacRorie-Mc- 

 Laren Co., returned from his eastern 

 trip early last week. 



While the final results- of the Easter 

 trade are not yet altogether certain, the 

 greatest hit seems to have been made 

 by E. James, of Oakland, with his ram- 

 bler roses. Mr. James went into this 

 line extensively, and practically cleaned* 

 out two large houses of it. While his 

 stock included a large quantity of fine 

 Crimson Ramblers, the greatest success 

 was with Dorothy Perkins. A number 

 of the leading downtown florists, in- 

 cluding Podesta & Baldocchi, B. M. 

 Joseph, Pelicano, Rossi & Co. and the 

 Art Floral Co., gave these ramblers a 

 leading jdace in their Piaster decora- 

 tions. 



Podesta & Baldocchi had one of the 

 finest Easter decorations, the whole 

 store being a bower of pink and red 

 ramblers, the latter at the rear. The 

 efi'ect was gained by placing large 

 plants on either side, each plant rising 

 nearly to the ceiling and beuding over 

 to form a half-arch, while a single large 

 rambler trained in fan shape formed an 

 effective backing at the rear. Potted 

 primulas along the floor in front and 

 a large bank of rhododendrons in the 

 rear harmonized well with the effect of 

 the ramblers, and to one side was an al- 

 cove of Easter lilies. 



At Joseph's, the inside display con- 

 sisted largely of Dorothy Perkins ram- 

 blers, trained in basket form, standing 

 seven to eight feet high. The window 

 feature was a large bank of azaleas, 

 backed by large specimens of Scotch 

 heather and set oflf in front by small 

 primulas and ferns. This house had a 

 large decorating job during the week at 

 the Indiana building at the exposition, 

 for a reception to Vice-president Mar- 

 shall, and also two large church deco- 

 rations for Easter. 



C. C, Navlet, of San Jose, has again 

 taken the flower stand at the Emporium 

 department store, which he conducted 

 some years ago, but which has been Va- 

 cant since the first of this year. Mr. 

 Navlet has been spending most of the 

 week in San Francisco to get the new 

 stand started. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee believes there 

 should be isonie general understanding 

 among the trade, or that some definite 

 custom should be established, in regard 

 to discounts on flowers shipped. The 

 trouble now is, she says, that while some 

 buyers regard the price of goods 

 8hipi)eil as net, others seem to cottsider 

 themselves entitled to deduct a dis- 

 count from their remittances. Mrs. 

 Darbee says she will have violets for 

 shipment about a month longer. She 

 now has some fine large daisies that 

 have proved quite popular in the ship- 

 ping trade, and has had a good run on 

 tulips for several weeks, with Spanish 

 iris just getting well started. 



The E. W, McLellan Co. lias just re- 

 ceived a large shipment of its violet- 

 shipping paper, which has been needed 

 ■for some time. This house is still ship- 

 ping a good many violets, but finds them 

 rather scarce. 



The Hogan-Kooynian Co. is increasing 

 the capacity of the San I^ancisco store 

 by building a mezzanine floor oyer the 

 greater part of the space. 



The Kearny ' street store of J. B. 

 Boland is. showing some exceptionally
